Magnetic formwork for reinforced concrete products: Speed up production and improve quality
In an environment of increasing competition and strict quality requirements for reinforced concrete products, particular attention is paid to reducing molding time and eliminating defects. This is where innovative technology comes to the rescue — magnetic formwork for reinforced concrete structures. By using magnetic systems, construction companies have a real opportunity to improve accuracy, speed up the production cycle, and reduce costs — all based on proven facts from TDM Engineering Oy.
Revealing the essence of the technology/service
Magnetic formwork for reinforced concrete structures is a system for fixing metal formwork elements using powerful magnets. Magnetic blocks are easily attached to molding tables, ensuring a tight fit and stability of the form without the use of bolts, welding, or drilling. The magnetic block has a sealed housing and a convenient handle or latch for activation, which ensures repeated use without loss of surface roughness.
Practical application
In production conditions, magnetic formwork for reinforced concrete structures is widely used:
- In the manufacture of hollow floor slabs, wall panels, beams, and columns.
- It is especially effective on serial or mobile molding lines where regular mold reconfiguration is required. Magnetic blocks can be installed in seconds and hold the molds securely in place, ensuring stable product geometry without vibration shifts.
Advantages and benefits
- Speed of installation and dismantling – Magnetic systems reduce preparatory work significantly compared to bolted or welded fasteners.
- High molding accuracy – The tight interaction of magnets with molds eliminates displacement during pouring and vibration, which is especially critical in the production of hollow floor slabs.
- Cost-effectiveness and equipment preservation – There is no need to damage the surface of the molds or table, which significantly extends the service life of the equipment and reduces repair costs.
- Versatility in application – The ability to change the position of the magnets allows the formwork to be adapted to different products: from slabs to columns and beams.
- Increased productivity and reduced defects – Quick installation, geometric accuracy, and stability during pouring reduce the percentage of defective products and shorten the production cycle.
